Cyprus Embassy in Ankara and Turkey's most important idea AVIM organizations (Eurasian Studies Center) organized a briefing by the AVIM was held in the building located in Cankaya, Ankara.
Speaking at the meeting Prof. Dr. Ata Atun emphasized that the Cyprus problem did not start in 1974, as the Greek and Greek Cypriots claimed. The Greeks recalled that the Enosis obsessions caused by the Megali Idea (Big ideal) caused unrest in the island from the 1930s onwards.
He stated that the rights of the Turkish Cypriots, including the right to live until 1974, were usurped. Dr. Ata Atun, "The Turkish Cypriots have been genocide on the island. The Greeks who did not comply with the partnership republic agreement established in 1960, have changed the 13 items which guarantee the equality of the Turks by noting that they cannot see the Turks as equal partners. When they realized that they would not change these 13 items, they acted with the principle of firing and destroying the Turkish Cypriots first from the partnership, then from the island," he said.
The Greek Cypriot thesis that the island of Cyprus was divided in 1974 did not reflect the truth. Ata Atun, "The first division of Nicosia is 1959. The British colonial administration, under the pretext of avoiding conflicts, drew wire fence along the Ermu Street from the Gate of Paphos to Famagusta Gate. On 29 December 1963, the border was drawn under the name 'Green Line' and entered the UN records.
